Using NX shark nozzle w/ Vortech Elbow, opinions please

Hey all, I am getting mixed thoughts about using the Shark nozzle from NX with a Vortech Elbow that has that divider in it. NX tells me any location is fine as long as its in front of the MAF, Combonation Motorsports also told me its fine and they have seen it done before. I want to know what your views are. I am going to be mounting the nozzle on the bottom of the elbow (flat spot) and make it stick up 1 or 2 inches before the divider starts, before the 90" turn. So when I spray the divider will split the mixture and send it to each TB port, and while in the Intake Manifold it will do what its gotta do. What do you all think? There is no room to mount the nozzle in front of the TB becuase the divider stops when the elbow stops. The only area there is, is before the divider and 90* turn. Post away. BTW I will prob be running a 100 shot for anyone curious.

I didn't like the one nozzle + divider combo. I got a "Y" fitting and am using two "shark" nozzles. One at ~2 o'clock and the other at ~10 o'clock. But I can't say that a single nozzle won't work fine.

Any nitrous injected before the throttle body splits as it goes through it anyway. I don't see how the divider in the elbow is any different.

I got the Trickflow elbow because I didn't want a divider. But I do see alot of people using the Vortech/single nozzle combo without any problems.

Thanks all, I think Im just gonna put her on and vortech elbow and see where it gets me :)

I just cut about 3" of the center vane out with my dremel for my Shark nozzle. Actually, mine has two holes drilled for 2 stages, but I 0nly have one stage on at this point.

i made no mods to my vortech elbow and mounted the nozzle about 2" before the divider (the nozzle is not centered on the vane either). when i dyno'd with a 100 shot, i picked up 96hp and 162ftlbs at the wheels with it set up this way.

Thenk you Deadcarny, I feel alot better now :)

no prob.
